Victorinox silver Challah Knife

[herb]

They're great

+1. The one I have is a different design but cuts amazing. Worth the money imo

[aygart]

Are you asking about the quality of the blade or the quality of the handle?

The handles are total garbage. They are always loose no matter what I do.

I have one I like, not used much, so wouldn't be loose, but my parents have for some time with no issues...maybe bring it back to where you got it?

These famous Icel Shabbos Kodesh knives are phenomenal, far superior quality than your regular Icel knife.

Didn't you one time post a video with a guy comparing the two?

I don't recall

what I don't like about Icel is there Jewish marketing about the non Jewish product, it's more mehuder to tovel with a brocho since its a goyish company, I would rather not tovel and support the community

Absolutely. We have these

They re very good. The serrated one is much better than non serrated. And the unibody design is smart too

I'm only using a non serrated one for Shabbos and I'm very happy with it, my best knife so far. A sharp non serrated knife cuts through the crustiest challah easily while leaving behind minimal crumbs.

They are, until you try cutting sourdough. At which point one needs to move to something else.

When it comes to sourdough crumbs can't be a concern

I'm cutting sourdough with the non serrated with ease.

I got this as a gift.  It's great and I can easily recommend it to anyone eating sourdough.

How do you pronounce the brand name? (藤次郎)

[av83]

It’s a Victorinox bread knife that can be had on Amazon any day for $30-40, with a sterling silver handle.

It’s probably a decent bread knife, but I’m sure there are off brands that do the job just as well. The big thing is finding a place that sharpens blades (especially serrated blades) properly, or they’ll ruin an otherwise fine/beautiful Challah knife that could have been made to function like new by someone with the right equipment and skills.

Is it a big deal to sharpen a non serrated blade?

Is it a big deal to sharpen a non serrated blade?

No but get the proper sharpener. The angle of the blade matters.

It's been at least 7 years of heavy use now, the handle hasn't budged and the blade while not as sharp as it used to be is still decently sharp.
